The hunting safaris that we offer to clients are high income for the country involved and low impact for the environment (which is the opposite of photo safaris) and are all part of the game management programme run by the government of whichever country the hunt takes place in.
...A hunting client will pay a large sum of money to cover his camp expenses, which pays for his full board accommodation and camp, hunting services and the many and all the varied Government levies imposed on the hunter and his companions.
This camp, (which would not be there if it were not for the hunter) provides employment for many local and international staff such as chefs, maids, cleaners etc. 
He will then pay a sum of money for each animal that he hunts.
This sum is used to pay wages to the hunting staff (local and Professional) to pay for vehicles which are maintained locally by local labour and a large percentage is paid to the relevant Parks Board or Game Department, who use it to fund further game research and conservation.
The hunter also spends considerable additional amounts of hard currency and provides further employment 'in country' with local taxidermists, hotels, airlines and air charter companies etc.
